Reading(II)

內(nèi)容分析：

【W(wǎng)hat】本板塊的話題為“基因組編輯”，語篇來自一位生物學家的演講稿。演講者首

先介紹了基因和基因組的概念和作用；然后描述了基因組編輯技術(shù)如何用以治療和預

防種種疾?。浑S后話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)，點出這一技術(shù)的不正當使用可能引發(fā)道德等層面的問題;

最后展望未來，對基因組編輯這一革命性的醫(yī)學技術(shù)予以肯定。

【W(wǎng)hy】演講者清晰而鮮明地表達了對基因組編輯技術(shù)的態(tài)度：一方面是肯定、興奮,

另一方面則是嚴肅、謹慎。對尖端科技的解釋和展望有助于學生了解醫(yī)學進步對人類

生命健康和未來社會發(fā)展的重要意義和積極影響，激發(fā)學生的創(chuàng)新精神；對這項技術(shù)

潛在風險的分析則提醒學生要理性思考，以嚴謹、科學的態(tài)度辯證地看待醫(yī)學發(fā)展，

學會尊重生命、尊重科學。

[How]本文的語篇類型是演講稿。演講標題既點明主旨又飽含深意；演講者由淺入

深、循序漸進地為聽眾呈現(xiàn)了生物醫(yī)學的相關(guān)知識，主題鮮明，脈絡(luò)清晰。在語言特

點上，演講者采用了簡明通俗的語言對“基因”“基因組編輯”“設(shè)計嬰兒”等科學名詞進

行相應(yīng)的解釋，并多次采用舉例、反問、比喻等手法闡明道理，激發(fā)聽眾對話題的興

趣。學習本篇有助于學生掌握演講的格式和特點，有意識地用英語來學習其他學科的

知識。

中觀察現(xiàn)在完成進行時的基本構(gòu)成，并自主探究、歸納現(xiàn)在完成進行時的一般規(guī)則；

隨后通過句子、語篇兩個層面的練習鞏固所學，讓學生深化理解現(xiàn)在完成進行時的含

義和用法；最后組織學生運用所學，以角色扮演的方式運用目標語法進行采訪對話，

使語法知識的運用和話題相結(jié)合，實現(xiàn)“形式一意義一使用”三者的統(tǒng)一。

統(tǒng)文化的重要性和必要性。

【How］本板塊的語篇是一篇說明文，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰：作者首先說明了針灸作為一項古老

的醫(yī)術(shù)有著悠久的歷史；其次介紹了針的材質(zhì)和形態(tài)隨著歷史發(fā)展和科技進步而不斷

變化；隨后陳述了針灸診療過程中采取的傳統(tǒng)中醫(yī)望、聞、問、切等診療方法，以及

相關(guān)的醫(yī)學名詞，如“經(jīng)脈”“穴位”等；接著說明針灸不僅可以診治身體疾病，對一些

心理問題甚至不良嗜好也有一定作用；最后指出雖然針灸背后的醫(yī)學原理還沒有統(tǒng)一

的結(jié)論，但其對傳統(tǒng)中醫(yī)乃至世界醫(yī)學都有著獨特貢獻和深遠影響。文章主題明確，

詳略得當；作者運用簡潔明了的語言說明了針灸的神奇之處。
